Nice take on GTA! Was a lot of fun to mess around with and do what normally happens in GTA. Just causing senseless chaos, haha!

This is so stupid, I LOVE IT.

You really accomplished bringing an ancient feel to a well-loved franchise, well done! 
Sidenote: Really impressed by how large/complete the game looked/felt! 

Submitted(+1)

Wow, what a complete experience for such a short period of time, great work!

Submitted(+2)

That was a nice play! A like the look and especially the music. Has some nice vibes to it and also great content!

Nice game!

Fantastic. I love the amount of content you created in the time span. The world was surprisingly large, which is fitting for the grand theft title. Loved the music as well

WTF?! This was an awesome ride to 2005... I mean B.C. of course! The adaption is just fantastic, I hope you continue working on this one!

When I rioted around, got killed and respawned directly next to an opponent, he/she still attacked me although my stars went down to zero. Maybe something isn't reset properly?

Glad to hear you enjoyed causing mayhem in ancient times!
Ah, nice catch!  Indeed, the centurions seem to be taking their role a little too seriously, continuing to dispense justice into the after life.  It's certainly unfair that you should be immediately punished for your previous incarnations crimes, so I'll look into fixing that!

There was definitely a lot more that we wanted to put into this game but ran out of time for, so there might be a couple of post Game Jam updates!

When I say this reminds me of those games I used to play on flash portal sites, I mean it in the best way possible. There's an entire game experience crafted here, a tutorial to get me into the game, a series of missions for a bit of directed play, but also plenty of room for sandbox play, and just overall game systems that have time wasting potential due to how much fun they are. A memorable moment I had was when I crashed into another chariot, and the inertia of that chariot ended up running over a bystander - oops!

I have little nit picks like with the chariot controls and the size of some roads of the settlement you're riding through, but otherwise it's great. I had a good time!

You put a lot of work into this!  I found the controls a bit hard to use - particularly driving the chariots - but was impressed with how much of the GTA experience you were able to capture.

Submitted(+3)

Great audio! Tricky controls. Like the original GTA game but ancient Nice concept!

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you liked our take on the ancient theme :)

Submitted(+3)

Really nice. I died in a cart accident before being able to complete the mission.

It looks like the scope for this game could explode but you managed to actually finish it.

Developer

Thanks for playing! We did have to reign in our ambitions to make sure we had something completed on time. Definitely a lesson for scoping learnt there :)

Submitted(+3)

This was fun! I liked exploring and finding the different places to loot, and it was funny how the music played whenever I started driving. Turning the guards into puddles of blood was very satisfying :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you had fun looting and splatting the guards :D Hopefully the NPCs remained unharmed!? :D

Submitted(+3)

Loved it through and through - made me actually laugh a few times! Very original spin on the theme, and a good game to boot. 5 stars!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing, glad it gave you a laugh or two :)

Submitted(+3)

I would give 6 stars to fun if i could. Nice job.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed playing, thanks for checking out our entry! :)

This is a super creative and fun take on the ancient theme, and I love how hard you lean into the homage to Grand Theft Auto (down to to font choice and music).  The sound effects you added were really fun!

The tutorial was really appreciated, and helped me quickly get my bearings on the game.

Controlling the chariot was a bit of a struggle for me (mostly the steering was difficult, and I kept bumping into things), but I felt everything else was intuitive.  

The map of the 1st area seemed pretty large, so I didn't end up getting too far.  But I did enjoy  playing!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed the grad theft auto vibe :D. Thanks also for the feedback on the chariot controls very valid and helpful :)
